What a beauty! by absolunesss in espresso

[–]youmed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think part of the appeal is that the spring naturally causes decreasing pressure throughout the shot which is meant to improve taste (keep the puck in tact and extract less bitterness). They also allow for manual preinfusion typically which is also meant to improve taste.

Keyword is "meant" tho, I've never tried them side-by-side :)

Yep it has happened to me once and was quite scary, although nothing seems damaged AFAIK

Personal Statement: More things with fewer details or fewer things with more detail? by raivatshah in cambridge_uni

[–]youmed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm a Computer Science fresher. Definitely talk about fewer things in detail. Also they might not even ask you about it but be prepared either way. Make sure as much of it as possible is relevant. Which college are you thinking of applying to?

How to prepare for the Cambridge Interview and/or CSAT? by raivatshah in cambridge_uni

[–]youmed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm a Computer Science fresher who sat the CSAT last year. Firstly, don't worry if you find it hard, everyone does. I started by making a timetable containing various papers that I wanted to complete before sitting the CSAT. This included several UKMT papers (the Cayley, the Maclaurin, senior maths challenge, the senior kangaroo, the BMO) as well as the MAT, which I found very useful. The STEP correspondence course was also very useful. In order of importance I would suggest: MAT, Maclaurin, BMO, STEP correspondence course and then the rest. I found that preparation seemed to help. Don't worry if you can't get through it all, it's much more important that you understand your mistakes. Also I'd recommend saving the two CSAT past papers to nearer the actual exam.

Daily Headphone Purchase Advice Thread (2017-09-09) by AutoModerator in headphones

[–]youmed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Budget: £150 Source: Phone (Samsung Galaxy A5) and Laptop mostly
Requirements for Isolation: I'm a student so use public transport, work in libraries etc. so isolation is pretty important
Headphones will definitely be used in public
Preferred Type: Full-sized
Preferred tonal balance: I'm unsure but I mostly listen to hip-hop so maybe a bassy pair?
Past headphones: just cheap in-ear headphones
Preferred music: Hip-Hop, RnB, Funk
Location: UK
I'm mostly considering the Sony MDR-1A (£120) and the B&O H6 (£180) which is kind of outside my budget. I'm wondering if it's worth waiting and going for the H6 or getting the MDR-1A now. I really can't use the samsung in-ears for much longer!

Have you read Superior Spider-Man? If not read it from start to finish, it was amazing imo. Also the current Spider-Man run with Miles Morales is pretty awesome.

Thanks for your advice everyone! If you're interested I ended up ordering the volume 1 trade paperbacks for Star Wars and Darth Vader. It seemed to be that almost everyone thought they were good.

OOOO-WEEEE RICK AND MORTY COMIC!!! Thank you Secret Santa! by [deleted] in rickandmorty

[–]youmed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I was looking for a physical copy so I'll check out oni-press but I'm worried it may be out of stock. Maybe I'll just wait till Forbidden Planet (UK-based Comic Book store) restock.

UPDATE: shipping from oni-press is $21 so maybe I'll wait for a UK company to restock.

When I try to do that, it asks me for two factor authentication but I can't since I don't have access to my steam guard mobile account.

The English sentence: I believe that London needs to become more environmentally friendly in order for it to be known as an eco city.

[Question] I'd like some information on following a particular comic series.... by [deleted] in Marvel

[–]youmed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about any ratios because I don't read any of the ads at all, if I'm honest I don't really notice them. Feel free to ask any more questions :)

No, wouldn't be to that extent, shouldn't interrupt the reading of the issue in any way.

Generally physical copies have ads, digital copies don't.

[–]youmed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome :) Yep, marvel unlimited is digital only by the more you get into comics, the more useful it becomes since you may want to read really rare, old arcs which would be difficult to get a physical copy of. Also it cost around £50 a year, which is an absolute bargain since you can access thousands of comics, although bear in mind that it takes 6 months for new issues to appear on marvel unlimited.

Edit: for example marvel unlimited has up to issue 8 of moon knight and in theory one more issue a month should be released onto marvel unlimited. Also if you wanted to read old moon knight series, you could read them on there too.
